Overall SVN easier to get into and is more accessible due to theexcellent app called TortoiseSVN (TSVN).It is a GUI tool that allows you easy execution of all important standard workflow commands via good explorer integration.

TortoiseGit (TGit) is finally also available and works well.Git GUI, part of the standard windows git package, and especially the all-in-one package gitExtensions are work well.

For experienced devs, check WhyGitIsBetterThanX for an advancedhigh level, brief and still extensive summary and comparison.

You commit to your local repository first. This means you can commit very fast without normal wait times. No need to have Internet connectivity. You do the upload to the server of several commits in one go.

Git Bash gives you the option to work in a Linux command shell. Allows some nice advanced use (mass delete / rename etc) and very fast typing.

Tools:

Git GUI has most of the needed git command available easily via key shortcuts. The app is fast and the UI is fine.

GitExtension has a nice all-in-one installer making it easier to install. Key shortcuts missing and bit complicate multi window design, yet has easy access to very very many git commands and settings.

No messing with SVN folders (no .svn folder in each folder). All the files of the local repository are in one .git folder in the top most level.

Git Overview Demo 30 minutes screencast. Quite nice video explaining in detail and easy to understand how to do the basic operations on command line. Great way to get into the basic workflow and possibilities of VCS. Also show git GUI briefly.

git-gui screencast 6 minute screencast. Explains basic workflow of git GUI and shows how tostage and commit single line(s). This allows small, atomic commits easily! No longer worry about changing several aspects at the same time.You can sort the commits later on smoothly with this.

These are all command line based videos explaining the basics of git throughly.

GitCasts: Normal Workflow: 5 minute screencast. This episode demonstrates how to setup your .gitignore file, how to use and interpret git status output, how to add and remove files from your index, how to commit and what git does in the object database during these operations.

GitCasts: Setup, Initialization and Cloning: 5 minute screencast. This episode shows you how to setup your Git configuration, how to initialize a new repository and how to clone an existing repository over both the Git transport and the HTTP transport.

GitCasts: Git Diff: 9 minute screencast. This episode goes over some of the common or interesting options to 'git diff', showing how to see what has changed between your last commit and your staged files, unstaged files, all changed files or another commit. We also demonstrate how to create and apply patchfiles and how to view changed file stats using diff.

GitCasts: Git Log: 6 minute screencast. This episode is on git-log, which demonstrates most of the major features and options to the git-log command. It includes showing the stat, short-stat and name-stat options, the pretty options, the since and until limiters, the path limiter and author field searching.

GitCasts: Interactive Adding: 4 minute screencast. This episode demonstrates how to use the git interactive add command. It covers all of the major features of interactive adding, including status, update, revert, add untracked, patch and diff.

Expert:

GitCasts: Branching and Merging: 9 minute screencast. In this screencast, we take you through a workflow where we branch, stash and merge several times. It demonstrates the branch and show-branch commands, how to switch branches, how to stash changes, how to list and apply stashes, how to resolve conflicts, how to create and delete topic branches, and what fast-forward merges are.

GitCasts: Rebasing: 10 minutes Screencast. This screencast follows roughly the same course as the previous one on branching and merging, only I replace merging with rebasing. This screencast also demonstrates the interactive rebase command git rebase -i. I also demonstrate some slightly more complex branching, by using both interactive and normal rebasing techniques simultaneously on separate branches, then choosing one and deleting the other.

GitCasts: Browsing Git Objects: 7 minute screencast. In this episode, I show how to browse and inspect raw Git objects. The major tools covered are the git cat-file and git ls-tree commands to inspect the object contents, and then I cover some of the included graphical browsers, gitk and gitweb.

GitCasts: Distributed Workflow: 14 minutes screencast. This screencast demonstrates a distributed workflow. It takes two personas, creating a project in GitHub and pushing to it in the first persona, then cloning that project in the second. The second sets up a public, read-only HTTP repository on his own server. The first then fetches from that, merges changes and pushes back to GitHub. It also demonstrates an instance in which the Author and Committer fields can differ for a commit.

Git Community Book: Welcome to the Git Community Book. This book has been built by dozens of people in the Git community, and is meant to help you learn how to use Git as quickly and easily as possible.

GitReady: If you're looking for pointers (no pun intended) on how to use git, look no further! The goal with this site is to make it usable as a way for beginners to get off the ground using Git and to show those who are already familiar with Git some new tricks.

Git bash aliases: With aliases, you can avoid typing the same commands over and over again. Since version 1.5.0, Git supports aliases executing non-git commands, by prefixing the value with !.

WhyGitIsBetterThanX: Here is why people are switching to Git from X, and why you should too. Just click on a reason to view it.

Basic git talk: 60 minutes screencast version.High level overview of Git, why people use it, comparisons to SVN (including benchmarks), then a rundown on basic usage - setting up, workflow (edit/add/commit), what's happening behind the scenes, branchingand merging, log, diff, etc. About 1 hour if you talk as fast as I do and there aren't any questions, but it's taken me close to 2 hours before with a chatty audience.

Git world economy talk:This is a short, 30 minute or so talk that I tend to give at larger companies that is very high level and fast paced, intended to convince people to move their personal and company open source projects to Git and GitHub. This talk is about half high level Git evangelization, then half GitHub evangelization.

RailsConf08:The first big talk I gave on Git in early 2008. There are over 500 slides here, but I gave them fairly easily in about 45-50 minutes. I did a screencast of this deck, so you can see the presentation being given (url in the readme in that subdir). It introduces basic Git concepts, starting from the internals, then goes over all the porcelain you use most often. This is a bit old (pre 1.6), it still assumes you have all the executables in your path rather than in libexec, and I've since moved away from talking about internals off the bat (Basic Git Talk still goes over some internal concepts, but much more gently and farther into the presentation, I think.

Sor09:This is the talk I gave at Scotland on Rails in 2009. It has a lot of the Basic Git Talk, plus a number of advanced commands (revision selection, bisect, rebasing, etc). It is a large deck, over 500 slides - it will take at least 2 hours to get through. I did 80% of it in 45 minutes, but I was in overdrive., One could easily split it into two shorter presentations.

Git Remote Branching: git remote branch is a simple command-line tool that makes it very easy to manipulate branches published in shared repositories. Very useful script written in Ruby. Can be used to simplify managing remote branches (create, track or remove)

Tutorial SVN: 3 minute screencast. Explain in French how to setup a repos with TSVN.

Advanced:

Best Practices for Subversion: 8 minute screencast. Somewhat confusing as voice and text are not properly linked. Fair idea to listen to voice only first and watch it a second time without sound. That said good video sharing some thoughts about standard SVN directory structure and directory design, updating, commit logs and binary file handling in SVN.
